    Friday OT - I’m Afraid of Americans

    Love the David Bowie/NIN reference (that video was fantastically done!). I spent my Spring Break driving to Houston and back, and I found myself more concerned around the jacked up pick-up trucks and large SUVs that had a stronger tendency to lane drift than anything else.

    ***Official 2023 Weather Thread***

    About 10 years ago when I was working up in the BWCA, I arrived mid-May and the ice had broken up 2 or 3 days before I arrived. There was snow in the woods and on portage trails into the first week of June.

    On That Note: Dead Set on Production

    I'm actually fortunate enough to know this producer: Brad Cook We went to school together from elementary through college. He's been in a bunch of bands, but his production as of late has been top notch. Waxahatchee "Lilacs" Nathan Rateliff and The Night Sweats "Love Don't" Caamp "Believe"

    Iowa Wesleyan closing its doors

    Here's some data to back up the CC statement. I didn't realize it was that prevalent, but if you think about it, it's likely more expensive to offer the AP courses from a teacher cost perspective, given the necessary preparation for such coursework. The more rural areas are likely leaning on...

    Iowa Wesleyan closing its doors

    Yeah, dual enrollment doesn't pay at the same scale as a student enrolled in the college off the street. The ugly truth is that the liberal arts courses are cheap to run compared to career tech, and it balances the books. When the liberal arts side of the coin isn't bringing in the same level...

    Every Day Carry Knives

    Friday OT - Stealing the Show

    Spouse and I were road tripping from New Mexico back to Iowa a few years ago and other than hitting RMNP, it was a pretty wide open schedule.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm furious about how this ended up, and how much we as taxpayers get to spend on this nonsense.

    I grew up 2 hours East of the Twin Cities and have a vague recollection of the Halloween with snow boots where we only went to a few neighbors’ houses.
